A Good Joke.

A couple of well-dressed "smart"
insurance men while making a trip
through Northern Shawnee County,
stopped at g. farmhouse for dinner,
says the Topeka Commonwealth.
When they hitched up the team one
OF them espied a. new leather halter,
which he carried away with him ''just
for fun" The farmer did not view the
matter in the light of O. joke. and came
to town for the purpose of finding the
"smart" insurance man. He CHANGED
to meet one of the general agents of
the insurance company represented by
the halter thief, to whom he related
the circumstances. He told the gen.
eral agent that all he wanted was pay
for his halter.
"See here, my friend, want to teach
that fellow lesson. You will find
him down at the - hotel. Just go
down there and cell him you want
$5."
The farmer did so, and the young
man reluctantly produced tine S..

Digging Muck.

When the springs are low enough
the farmer should employ his first leis-
ure In digging out a full supply OF
muck. We are aware that many farm.
ers are prejudiced against the use of
muck; this is because they have not
made a proper use of it. Thirty years
ago there was g. muck craze, many
farmers being made to believe that g.
hundred loads of muck hauled into the
barnyard would be equal to fifty loads
OF barn manure, but after trying for q
few years the experiment Of filling the
barnyard with green, wet muck, they
learned that it was O. work that would
not pay. The muck thus deposited
was In no condition to mix with the
manure, and it would not decompose,
and it was filled with so much acid
that it was often not only of no value
as fertilizer, but it was a positive IN
jury to the crop. When the farmer
fully understands the nature of muck,
he will not try to make plants grow
with it by applyingit in a green state,
but he will keep it exposed to the &C.
ton of the sun and air OF summer,
and frost of winter, until the acid is all
out, and also most of the water;
then it will begin to decompose
and become fine, which is just
the state needed for an absorbent.
When muck becomes fine and dry, it is
valuable not only to use as an absor-
bent, but also to apply directly to
the land, if the land be high and the
soil somewhat dry. Few materials
can be applied to 8 soil of sandy
loan that in the end will prove SO
beneficial as fine dry muck; it furn-
ishes such soil with just the material
that it is the most deficient in, name
ly, decayed vegetable substance, and
when this material is free from acid,
it is just as good material to form
plant food as decayed vegetation from
any other source. With most of
muck it is only question of time
when it will become free of water and
from injurious acids. Muck will adj
vance to plant food more rapidly, if
spread where it can be frequently
stirred with the pillow or cultivator,
thus letting in the heat and air. In
digging muck it should always be re-
membered that the first foot in depth
is much the best, because it can be re-
duced to plant food more readily;
therefore, when farmer has plenty
of meadow land of no great value, he
can take off foot of the top and hen
set it out to cranberries, first covering
it with two inches OF sand. In this
way the farmer can get a cranberry
bog very cheap, and at the same time
get what muck he may want, and that,

There is great intensity of the physical
condition sometimes, and there are facts
which we cannot go behind. In illustra-
ton further of facts which settle the points
of prompt and permanent cure, the fol-
lowing cases are cited In 1884 Mrs. Mary
neuralgia. She writes from lilo Maryland
Avenue, Washington, d. G.. In the first in
stance she states 81 suffered terribly with
neuralgia in the face very severe attack
extending to back and shoulders suffered
intensely. Tried st. Jacobs OIL had parts
well rubbed at night; in the morning all
pain gone magically.' June 10, 1887, she
writes froiA 224 Eleventh Street, S. w, as
follows; -Four years ago ] sent you a vol
untary certificate setting forth the fact that
[ had been great sufferer with neuralgia in
my face, neck and shoulders. [ obtained
bottle of st. Jacobs Oil, and after three APP
plications l was entirely relieved from all
pain, and from that time to the present L
have never had return. The effect was
miraculous" Again, Feb. 6, 1887, Mr.. r.
G. Troll, st. Louis, Mo, writes: "In March,
1881, L suffered terribly with neuralgia; had
suffered nearly three years. Applied st.
Jacobs Oil at S.15 A. NJ. at $40 took the
rag off; at 8 A NJ. went to work. In less
than five minutes after that the pain was
gone. The one application cured me. Have
not had return of it since" Mr.. e. w.
Spangler York, Pa, June IL, 1897 writes:
~ ears ago had neuralgia; am not subject to
it now. The cure by the use Of ST. Jacobs
Oil was permanent. There has been no re-
currence of the painful affection" Chas.
w: Law, Jr, Pottstown, Pa, April 10, 1887,
writes "Was troubled for years with -1eG-
ralgia in neck and head Tried ST. Jaccbe
Oil; had tried different kinds of remedies
without effect One bottle of the former did the
business. No return of pain and aches" In
almost every instance the reports are the same.
